I’m testing out a light tent and lights; I usually just use Ott-lights on white paper for these blog posts for simplicity. This year for Beading for a Cure, we take our own photographs for the auction, so I’m working on getting good images.

I’m still not entirely pleased with this photograph. Anyone have a photography set up they’re willing to share? This is a homemade light box with vellum sides and top, white paper sweep, and 100w soft white bulbs through both sides, and an Ott-light from the front. I ended up cutting the background out, as I do on essentially all of my photos, as it doesn’t end up being true white. The colors are much better than the ones taken below of the rope alone!
